gardenstead | What is soil? @gardenstead | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
Want to grow the biggest healthiest plants you can? It all starts with soil.
First, we need to understand what soil is, exactly.
Aaron starts our series by taking us through the four main components of soil.
Healthy soil contains:
• organic matter
• minerals
• aeration
• microbes
Once we have that established, Aaron takes us through why each element is so important to soil health.
